We listen. We find answers.

Many churches have asked the following general questions. If your question isn’t here, or you would like more than a general answer, please feel free to contact us. We will find an answer for you.


What is an “independent” insurance agency?


An independent agent or agency is a separate entity representing more than one insurance company. Conversely, a “captive” agent or agency usually only represents one company. As a result, an independent agent or agency has the ability to provide you with more choices and obtain various quotes. An independent agent or agency also tends to be a stronger advocate for their clients in pressing insurance companies for special coverages and needs, as well as a stronger advocate for claims and billing matters.


How long does it take to get a competitive quote for our church or school?


To provide you with an accurate quote, we need to visit your facility, completing building surveys and reviewing current coverages. After this visit, we can have the quote in your hands quickly. In emergencies, this process can be reduced to a few days!


How do we value our property coverage needs (buildings and contents)?


We will complete a physical survey (measurements, pictures, building materials) of your facilities, and after receiving building appraisals from our associates, we will process your estimate in-house.

Contents (personal property) needs are your responsibility. A guideline is 15% to 20% of the building values, nevertheless, we recommend you create and maintain some type of inventory (video and/or written). Carpet, attached pews and pipe organs are considered part of the building.


How do we report claims?


Call us as soon as possible during normal business hours. When we receive a claim, we'll forward a loss notice to the company so an adjuster can be assigned to your claim. You will be asked to get estimates for smaller claims. For larger claims, an independent adjuster will be assigned.
